AKheon | God of War: Ragnarök (PS4) - testing at Lyngbakr Island @AKheon | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
I applied the recently discovered glitch tech at Lyngbakr Island to see if some skips would be possible.
---
0:00 - There's a convenient sidle / climbing wall where it's possible to go out of bounds using a prompt glitch.
First, I tried skipping the whole top floor of the island by going OoB, then landing downstairs and opening the key item chest early. Unfortunately, the chest can't be opened if you skip the mini-boss fight, making this plan impossible.
0:35 - A much smaller skip where you just bypass the climbing wall is possible. As a side effect, the Wretch nest also stays inactive, which might give an additional few seconds timesave.
1:15 - For the time being, I ignored the Wretch nest and tried activating the fights on the Island in wrong order. The nest finally becomes active after you've turned the wheel and attempt to leave the area. After smashing downstairs, I have both the Wretch nest and mini-boss active, and all the nearby passages are also open.
2:10 - As a result, you can take the mini-boss fight outside its intended boundaries. Some of the Wretches spawned by the boss behave quite strangely and get stuck on doorways, but otherwise nothing too majorly glitchy happened. The mini-boss itself does its best to avoid the hole in the ground.
2:48 - Well, back to OoB testing. I noticed there's a stretch of death floor underneath the sidle, even though in normal circumstances Kratos should not be able to even fall down here.
3:12 - Later on the whole Island rises out of water and reveals a whole new floor that was previously hiding under the water surface. I tried entering this area early as well, but nothing is loaded at the moment.
3:43 - Overview of what is under the Island in Photo-mode. The big fish can be seen here, but there's no additional level geometry. I wonder if the puzzle targets under the fins could be hit early, somehow?
